  1. Right now the only options we have for flagging stream content is to mark our stream as for adult audiences only. There are times when my stream isn't necessarily 18+, but it might contain harsh language or a violent game or what have you. I would like to be able to communicate that to my audience via something akin to TV Parental Guidelines (TV-G, TV-PG, TV-MA, etc) on a stream-by-stream basis, rather than having a blanket on/off switch for what is and is not an adult stream. I think parents who have kids who watch Twitch would also appreciate being…

  2. Pre-roll video after the pre-roll Ad

    This is important to discuss. With the way the web is with not only sponsored content that needs to be clear and unavoidable for all viewers on the platform that need to know that something is sponsored. We need this feature to protect creators from US law makers that enforce and create policy changes month by month. I would like a feature that after the pre-roll ad. I can place a short video before the stream appears informing the viewer that the stream has sponsored content. That the stream is not safe for audiences…

  3. I think twitch should come up with a way for viewers to earn currency of some sort to donate to the stream for them to get more viewers similar to how mixer does with what they call sparks. I feel it would be nice for small streamers.

  4. streamers can party stream with other streamers so the community can see everything that is happening, can we make a way for the community to do the same.
    i have several streamers that i watch and a few of these streamers come on at the same time.
    so having the ability to watch all of these streams all at the same time will help me keep up with the streamers i like.
    it can be just like the streamer version of a party stream, but the users add who they want to there party just to watch.

  5. Create a filter to see streamers of a single country and also give streamers option to place a "Button" to show their country of origin and that same button when clicking on it will link to the Browse section of the chosen country and/or open a new tab doing the same process.

  6. As per title.

    Subs are generally granted more leniency in chats. It would be practical to identify the subs that genuinely financially contribute with Paid and Prime subs over the free gifted subs.

  7. My friend and I are streaming content together. Only one of us needs to share their screen each time, but we'd like to also show the other person's face (we like to feel included!).
    Right now we're doing this by calling on Discord and screensharing the remote person's face. Could we please have a feature to enable this natively in Twitch (having two people sending to the same stream at once)? It would be super cool, especially as we play a lot of co-op games.

  8. In a similar way as to how you can add the game you are playing to twitch, so others can see, maybe have a section that you could type in the username of a fellow twitch user and underneath the video it has a Guest section.
    So for those that stream that bring other streamers in, such as podcasts, or friends doing co-op streams they can promote their friends who also stream on twitch.
    That way people who are entering the stream can check who the guests are and also click on their names and be linked to that person's…

  9. Instead of having developers have to sign up for a regular account and then gather the oauth and details, just have dedicated bot users. They could also carry a bot label next to their name on their profiles.

  10. I have been an early adapter for many new implementations on twitch. Sometimes this is great but sometimes it actually breaks things so that i have to log out of my account to watch streams. Last time this happened was with the implementation of the stream minimizing to bottom left when you scroll down or change to certain pages. I don't mind testing new features and giving feedback, but i would like to know when i have been selected as a test subject.

    Is it too much to ask to be informed when something is implemented? I would be happy…

  11. There are a lot of great broadcasters partnered and non-partnered that deserve something more than just a button. so what about giving them a physical award?

  12. Hello Twitch Product Team,

    Currently, all Twitch broadcasts are subject to a strict 48-hour continuous streaming limit, after which the ingest server automatically terminates the session. While this safety measure effectively prevents ghost streams and mitigates server load, it creates a major disruption for creators running legitimate multi-day subathons, charity marathons, or community events. Restarting a live stream mid-event leads to significant viewer drop-off, breaks chat momentum, and interrupts active subscription trains.

    To solve this without increasing manual moderation overhead, I am proposing the Dynamic Marathon Protocol (DMP)—a self-service, automated system built into the Creator Dashboard.

  13. Feature suggestion: Allow streamers to replace their live gameplay thumbnail with a custom static image or generic placeholder while appearing in game categories such as VALORANT.

    This would make it harder for opponents to identify their match by scanning live thumbnails for the same map, agent composition or gameplay situation.

    Streamers could optionally use a misleading thumbnail showing a different map, or choose to hide the preview entirely until viewers open the channel.

    This wouldn't eliminate stream sniping, but it could make finding the correct stream significantly more difficult without requiring a stream delay or compromising the live viewing experience.

  14. We have amazing tools to create #shorts and yet twitch has a very poor implementation of #shorts (very poor engagement in native platform). The only way for the shorts to get seen and get traction is to push them on YT or TikTok.
    I suggest a menu category for shorts:

    Overview>Live>Videos>Categories>Channels> [SHORTS]

    This category could be populated with #shots suggestions based on the users likes / watched categories (based on algorithm).
    We could push shorts gaining traction: Top #shorts, top #shorts of the day, etc.
    Browse or search pages could also benefit from algorithmic shorts suggestions > much like competitor…

  15. Add Categories: Dance and Fitness. If you want to dance you either go Just Chatting or Irl. Just dance games don't really work.

  16. Hello, I would like to provide some feedback to Twitch regarding the recently introduced “Streak” feature, and I hope the Twitch team can consider making some changes to how this feature works in the future.

    I understand that the original purpose of this feature is to encourage viewers to continue watching their favorite channels and give them something they can build up and challenge themselves with. I think the idea itself is actually great, and it can also increase interaction between viewers and streamers.

    However, with the current streak system, if a viewer misses even one stream in…

  17. 您好,想向 Twitch 反映一項關於近期「連續觀看」功能的意見,希望官方能夠考慮未來調整這項功能的機制。

    我認為這個功能原本的出發點應該是希望鼓勵觀眾持續觀看自己喜歡的頻道,讓觀眾有一個可以累積、挑戰的目標。這樣的想法其實很好,也能增加觀眾與實況主之間的互動。

    不過,目前「連續觀看」的機制是只要中間有一場沒有跟到,連續紀錄就會中斷。對於平常有固定觀看習慣的觀眾來說,這其實會造成一定程度的壓力。

    例如有時候遇到上課、考試、工作、外出,或是其他臨時的事情,即使自己平常非常喜歡這位實況主,也不一定每一場直播都有辦法準時觀看。但因為擔心連續觀看紀錄被中斷,反而會讓人產生「今天一定要看」的壓力。

    原本開開心心地打開 Twitch,是因為想看自己喜歡的實況、和大家一起聊天、享受直播內容;但有了連續觀看的限制後,有時候會變成「因為不想斷掉,所以一定要看」。長期下來,這可能會讓觀看直播從一件令人開心的事情,變成一種需要完成的任務。

    因此,我想建議 Twitch 可以考慮將目前的「連續觀看制」改為「累積觀看制」。

    例如每觀看一場直播,就累積一次觀看紀錄,不需要要求每一場都連續完成。即使中間因為生活或其他原因錯過一場,也不會讓之前累積的紀錄全部歸零。另外,也希望目前已經累積的連續觀看場數可以保留下來,不要因為機制改成累積制而被刪除,而是直接將過去的連續觀看場數計入新的累積觀看場數中。例如原本已經連續觀看了 20 場,在改成累積制之後,可以直接保留這 20 場,之後再繼續累積,而不是重新從 0 開始。累積到一定次數後,再給予相應的徽章、成就或其他獎勵。

    我覺得這樣的方式可以同時保留這項功能原本「鼓勵觀眾觀看」的目的,也能減少觀眾因為害怕斷連而產生的壓力。

    畢竟每個觀眾都有自己的生活,不可能永遠都有時間跟上每一場直播。我也希望 Twitch 能夠讓觀眾在享受直播的同時,保有一定的自由,而不是因為擔心紀錄中斷,讓觀看變成一種負擔。

    希望官方可以認真考慮「累積觀看」這個方向,讓大家可以用自己舒服的方式支持喜歡的實況主,也讓觀看 Twitch 回到最單純的——因為喜歡,所以想看。

    謝謝各位願意閱讀這份意見,也希望未來 Twitch 能夠持續聽取觀眾的聲音,讓平台上的觀看體驗變得更加輕鬆、自由且愉快。

    謝謝!

  20. I would like to add a feature when you put an led mask(Mergoo,Lunarlights) that the chat could interact with the image display on the mask. It could boost creativity and could be fun for the streamer and the chat. For exemple, if someone want to change the image on the mask,put text etc,they would have to spend bits or channel points in order the use the full capacity of the mask. Maybe With Lumiastream could make the job easier to input such a feature.
